this is extremely not consistent by city, jurisdiction, or even road. you have to push the beg button on my street to cross but basically none of the streets around me require it.

It's always shocking to me how many people are apparently blackpilled on pedestrian call buttons, believing that they do nothing. I've come upon a group of 5 people all standing at a crosswalk and no one has pushed the button. Folks, most lights won't give you a walk phase unless you push it!

this is because my street is managed by GDOT, the others are City of Atlanta. yes this distinction is real it is horrific to try to cross this street wit ha bike because it straight up will never change the lights for you
